Case Presentation

A 12-year-old, 53-kg girl presented to the ER with excruciating (10/10) left ankle pain. The patient said, “Please don’t touch my left ankle and foot. It is so painful that I can’t put any weight or wear socks anymore!” Three months earlier, the patient was in soccer practice when another player collided into her. She felt pain immediately in her left lower leg, followed by ankle swelling.
